I'm itching to use my new stash - Estee Lauder Cyber White Moisturiser and Sunscreen. So so so wanna open them and slather on those precious creams. Well the problem is... I still have my Cellnique Emulsion, with SPF25. In dire need to re-plan my whole skincare range. Has been a junkie lately using multiple brands at once... *grins* Don't be lazy don't be lazy... stop spending money stop spending money.....Ohmmm..

Ooh so I had the LHE. Feels exactly the same with the underarm treatment, only slightlt less pain. I mean it was like rubber bands snapping onto your face for a good two rounds... I'd better look firmer!! While at it, I was thinking if I dread this tiny bit of pain for the sake of looking pretty, how on earth could ppl out there go for Botox, lasers, etc? You know, those are chronic abuse. The pain omg, I'm pretty sure LHE don't even come close! This is the last time I'm going for LHE for my face (well only because I've got a free voucher ok). And I know I know.. don't be cocky.. and never be absolutely sure of the future. So I'll re-phrase it. This is the last for now.. at least a couple of years. Happy? :P Am not supposed to scrub my face, put on weird creams and no excessive sun exposure. Feeling kinda delicate now.. so I'm gonna enjoy the next 2 days curling up on my couch with a good book (this Brit chick lits are damned entertaining!) Hopefully my skin enjoys the days off too, with only the basic nutrient I feed in... Cheerios!

So tomorrow I'm going for my LHE Facial, and am a little nervous. For one thing it sounds like a serious kinda treatment, and I'm worried I'll look like an idiot with red patches all over! Praying praying so praying that it will give me better skin instead... Fingers crossed! Duhh doop.. duhh doop.....

So its been like 2 months since I started using EL Nutritious. Long enough time to let it settle and see the results yeh? Here goes: Idealist You only need one single pump for the whole face. So the 50ml bottle will probably last you 7-8 months (I'm lookin at once a day, in the morning only - to explain why below). $275 for 8 months is not too bad. Slightly over a dollar daily. I don't find that my pores are 69% smaller (you liar! lol). When you apply the lotion on, it does make my skin feel smooth.. somewhat like satin-like, hence a plus point when applying foundation later (after your moisturiser and sunblock, you know the sequence). And the magic really just end here, coz when you wash your face it goes back to the original.. maybe over time I might see some real results I was hoping for... Nutritious Day Lotion Mmm this is my favourite from the range. Same as above, only one pump for the entire face, you may need extra if you apply it to your neck. It smooths on beautifully on my face, and not greasy at all. But did it gives me a rosy pink healthy complexion? Hmmm I'll rate it about 6 out of 10 maybe( I'm pretty stressed these months... so..) $165 for 50ml, its a not bad buy me thinks :) Nutritious Night Creme Ooh la la, this is rich! I'm not particularly pleased with the texture... a tad bit too rich for my liking. And I do have tiny bumps these days, a sign of too oily? Sigh but good if you sleep in air condition (I don't) so after this $175 50ml jar, I don't think I'll go for seconds... Nutritious UV Protector Ahh this one me likes.. so far of all the sunblocks I've tried on, I like this the most. Doesn't leave any whitish traces.. but the SPF is 50. Thought that is a bit too high ain't it? I prefer this during the weekend though, when I'm out shopping / brunch. $160 for 50ml Ya know.. after all this while, what really pleases me is the Eve Taylor Face Oil #1. I can picked on my face and appear like a girl with measles (touch wood ahem!) and after applying the face oil.. the red patches just dissapear. And I thought my skin looks its best when I was using the oil together with Dermalogica's Skin Smoothing Cream (the downside is that its freaking expensive!!) I'm considering the Gentle Soothing Booster but it will rob me off $203 :( Xmas treat or New Year 2008 treat for myself?

So.. yeah I've been super lazy to blog.. After about 3 weeks to a month, what do I have to say? I'm quite contented with the result.. though not like radiant a la peach. But I do see an improvement in terms of the skin texture. And I think this bottle of Refinisher can last me months.. Just one pump is enough for my whole face.. I focus more on the cheek area of course. Kinda cool... love this darling!

Ahhh so today I'm not seeing my man, that leaves me lots of ME TIME :)) I tried the Micro D Thermal and Idealist Combo again, and am very pleased this time round. Slightly red on both the apples of my cheek, but not as horrible as the last time I did *shudders*. I love lookin at myself in the mirror these days. I've beenn skipping the foundation at work, and my skin looks pretty fine. Tone is good, pores look more refined (I swear my vision is ok); I even think I see a slight glow.... Ahhh... contented now. ;)

I've been reading some reviews about the Idealist Micro D and the new Idealist Refinisher. One of the reviewers wrote about her experience about going all red after using the Micro D. So being the curious cat, I decided to give it a go, haha. I mean, I've been using it for some time, and yeah, my skin did have red patches, but what about leaving it on for about a minute or two? So I did leave it for about 2 mins, then followed by the Refinisher. Uhhmmm lemme tell you this... DON'T YOU DO THIS IF YOU HAVE A DATE THAT NIGHT!! Lolz. I was smart.. It was a stay home night when I tried it. I will never never forget those red patches... OMG, UGLY!! If it stays like that for two days, I'd cry the entire two days and take a sickie.. lol. Skin feels soft (due to the silicone in the Refinisher) but the look of the skin.. NO NO NO. But thankfully, the redness subsided after a few hours. I think the key word here is relax.. just drink lotsa water, breathe, and chill. The next morning, all gone. :) Smoother skin? Kinda. Will I do it again? Of course. I just have to select a day I don't have to go out, not even to get the papers.. Haha..
